Chickpea Peanut Butter Cookies

In search of a workout snack, I came across these. They're a no-sugar,
no-grain, no-egg recipe, that is high protein and not sweet. The recipe
takes hardly any time to make, and clean up is easy. The cookies are
bite sized, which makes them portable, great for the long walks my group
does. If the no-sugar thing isn't your thing, you could easily sweeten
it up with some liquid Stevia, or semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you
have a sweet tooth this is key because the cookies as written are not
sweet at all.

Chickpea Peanut Butter CookiesMakes: about 28 cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, well-rinsed

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup natural peanut butter

1/4 cup almond milk

1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Drain and wash chickpeas well. Make sure they are well-washed so that the cookie dough doesn’t taste like beans.

Add all the ingredients except chocolate into a blender or food
processor and process until smooth. Adjust liquid as needed. Stir in
chocolate chunks.
